Apologies if already mentioned elsewhere - I couldn't see anything on searching sensible keywords (e.g. station names ordered by date). SouthEastern reported a landslip at Newington, between Rainham and Sittingbourne, on Friday. The unscheduled closure ran through the weekend, and has now been...

Zeelo has acquired fellow tech-based ride-share coordinating company Ride Kura, according to a press release from yesterday. Kura seem to have focussed on schools, whereas Zeelo seem to have a larger presence in workplace shuttles. Separate to this, perhaps worth noting Zeelo have been awarded...

Hoping I can garner some advice from the more seasoned travellers on the forum. I haven't been abroad since May 2019 (this trip was delayed from March 2020!), so my experiences are all now in those halcyon pre-Brexit, pre-Covid, rock up at passport control and that'll do days... I also have a...

The speed of processing card payments on Ticketer machines has come up across in various threads now, most recently in the messages that were (reasonably) removed for off-topicality in the "peril" thread yesterday. I posed the question I pose again here, but there were also some interesting...

I started writing this in the private versus public ownership thread, but thought it was a bit too off-topic to continue there. The need for "a system" is often mentioned, but what do people regard as being part of that? You are right in the number of bus routes that run into the very centre...
